Made the mistake of saying yes to a COVID test

TIL not to accept a COVID test through geisinger. I got charged 632 dollars for them to swab my nose. I figured it would be entirely covered by insurance, or surely it wouldn't be that expensive. Nah, $632 dollars, insurance through geisinger will cover maybe $200. What the actual fuck. At home swab tests are a little less than $20 dollars. I don't fucking understand. What I do understand is all the hatred to corporate health providers that will fucking disable you financially for taking 10 minutes of their time and give you nothing. Obviously this is nothing new and people have it worse, but add it to the list. Don't take a COVID test. It's better to just not know I guess, even though the pandemic isn't over but every corporation has moved on from it.
